As the spring commencement season winds down, many recent graduates feel trepidation about leaving the academic and purposeful comfort zone. Exiting the high school or college environment implies facing relentless pressure from parents, educators and society to remain on a linear path that leads to a university degree, graduate school, or the workforce. For this reason, young adults feel obligated to conform to a system in which they express having no active voice or personal control. Often, they feel more flummoxed and adrift than when they started academia with such promise. Therefore, it is not surprising that defiance between ...

Several atrocities have been witnessed against humanity in the history of the world. These include mass killings and destruction of property by political tyrants who seem to believe they have a duty to play and in turn to exert their forceful influence on seemingly less powerful people in a manner that is ruthless and unjust. The impunity with which such merciless acts are effected, is what creates a cloud off bitterness shadowing the fateful events that can never be taken back. One example of such injustice is one that takes place at the dawn of the 80’s in ...

Preamble

Addressing the trade balance’s nature, it seems worthwhile noting that its indicator reflects the difference between the state’s exports and imports. Talking more scientifically, it is a pecuniary ratio amid the amount of money received for goods and services exported outward a country and the cash paid for imported goods and services. If exports’ money exceeds the currency accepted as exchange for the imported articles, the circumstance stands for external surplus. Otherwise (if market conditions reveal vice versa), the case is generally called as red ink.

The United States government bears almost complete responsibility for the Massacre at El Mozote, as the U.S. President, Congress, and military encouraged the policies that led to the massacre, trained and armed the soldiers responsible, and covered it up. Apparently, the government of the United States played a key role in the massacre since its military trained the Atlactl Battalion, a unit of the Salvadorian armed forces, in order to combat the Salvadorian guerilla. The Atlactl Battalion was an elite unit and the government of the United States was extremely proud of having taken part in its creation. Therefore, the government ...

There has always been a controversy about the purpose of the financial aid, as it can reduce the poverty in the country and improve its economic situation, but, on the other hand, it can also strengthen the donor influence on the recipient (Lancaster, ...

Explosives are a rather young industry. Despite the stereotype of it being primarily used for military purposes, it has come to be applied in a variety of fields. It stand to reason that explosives have given belligerent parties a strategic advantage on the battlefield, yet their application is well documented in areas other than the military industrial complex. It is quite difficult to envision the peaceful demolition of decrepit structures that are up for destruction due to the degrading state of the framework. The extractive industry is dependent on explosives inasmuch as mineworkers need their way cleared or portions of rock splintered. ...

Arab spring is the series of mass street protests, revolutions and internal armed conflicts in several Arab countries, which began in late 2010 in Tunisia and continuing in some countries today.

Argo is a film that describes the rescue of a group of United States diplomats from a hostage situation in Iran. The film exclusively illustrates political crisis; however, a critique of the film reveals the political gaps that existed in the film. The film shows the great use of government power in the rescue mission but limits the use of some government arms in the rescue mission (Lapsley ‏ & Westlake 3). In the film, the Iranian activists hold a number of staff in the United States embassy hostage although some of them escape. However, the situation is expressly tough for the hostages. The director shows ...

If an offer sounds too good to be true, it definitely is a scam that can result in fraud, identity theft; computer virus and theft from your account. You should always keep in mind that there is no way someone can guarantee you a job or visa through an anonymous email. There are so many scams where you get a mail who convinces you to visit a website and apply by giving a guarantee. The truth is that visa can only be issued by Canadian embassy officers and high commission officers. And even the embassy or government website would not guarantee someone. Especially important ...

Introduction

The formation and disappearance of states and nations at the end of the Cold War became confusing to both policy makers and theorists. There have been arguments that the lack of theoretical preparation originates from two tendencies in the conventional theorizing. The first conventional theorizing is the dominant focus on cohesive nation-state as the sole actors of world politics makes it uneasy to determine the differences between the nation and the state. The second conventional theory according to these arguments is that traditional theory usually treats these two units as fixed (Zurich, 2009). In the modern turbulent world of ...

National Geographic Xpeditions define human migration as the movement of people from one place to another having the very purpose of finding a permanent residency or a semipermanent residency across a political boundary. These people are either given (i.e. voluntary migration) or not given a chance to relocate (i.e. forced migration). Historical accounts of migration have been well-documented. Adam and Eve moved away from the Garden of Eden in the book of Genesis, and the first human groups originating in East Africa to their current place in the world are among the many examples to cite. Migration may be classified in terms of ...

Abstract

The Hizballah organization was formed in 1982 in reaction to the apparent disenfranchisement of the Shiite Community in Lebanon. It has since grown into a national political organization with an international following. In addition, the organization has plummeted and extended into activities outside its initial intentions. These include terrorist activities which target United States of America, Israel and their allies. Interestingly, no consensus exists at the international level on how to treat Hizballah. While United States of America has since declared the organization a foreign terrorist organization in consonance with their laws, Europe Union omitted Hizballah from its list of terrorism ...

Proposed change in combating terrorism

In order to combat terrorism effectively, I propose that the Homeland Security Department introduce a new policy of information searching on the travellers into the United States of America. The new system should involve the use of joint information pulling methods that employ the use of data collected from the embassy at the visitor’s home country and incorporated into the system of the United States Homeland Department. This proposal would see to it that the information gathered at the airports on persons arriving into the United States of America is merely corroborative with the substantial work having been done ...

At the end of January each year many in Vietnam, the USA and other parts of the world, think of 1968 when the Tet Offensive was launched by the North Vietnamese against South Vietnam. Although the North had agreed to a truce they did not honor it. Instead they initiated a surprise attack comprised of approximately 70,000 Communist fighters into Saigon and about ninety nine other South Vietnamese cities. The attacks took place in cities on the coast and inland causing a shift from rural fighting to urban fighting. The consequences were staggering and the cruelty to innocent people caught in ...

Cultural diversity refers to almost anything that pertains to differences in people’s ethical codes, ethnicity, heritage, identities, language, philosophy, practices, religious beliefs, traditions, among many other things. Such differences need to be managed so people can avoid any miscommunications and misunderstandings.
